This is just to let others know that I have been using Pocomail with Agava Antispam Servant (an odd name?) and this free spam filter is working well for me. Anyone interested to try out the software can download it from the link below:

The software installed without any hiccups and I didn't have to tweak Pocomail at all except for creating a single filter. It is catching 97% of the spams after only two weeks of use and since I work online and have the habit of checking messages as soon as they arrive, this software is now saving me a lot of time.

Sounds good except it also installs another program, some sort of information bar that gets attached to the bottom of the browser...looks like some kind of advertisement. The only way to disable it is to buy the full version.

K9 worked fine when I used it some years ago, I liked it.
Now with SpamBayes and very happy, in particular, I didn't have a single false positive for weeks if not months, so now I'm saving a lot of time by not having to check the spam folder anymore.
Also heard good reviews of Popfile, and there is a script somewhere on this forum I believe, to allow better integration with Popfile. If not, concidentally I just run across this blog post that has script posted:

... reviving an old thread ...
AGAVA >> IS << spyware these days. It installs an ad driven program whether you are registered or not. (I was) Support is nil after they have your money.

I used The Bat plugin before coming to Pocomail. I must say it was ok for a long time until they decided that spyware was the way to go. Yes there are ways of disabling it but it would cause errors to be generated when loading. THAT is not why I registered it

May I suggest also "Kanopea Antispam" (ex-Spam Aware).Itworks wonders with Pocomail.

Just a piece of information!
